Some of those gathered in Goathland to mark the opening of the Goathland Centenary Walk Picture: D Rowe
THE Bishop of Whitby, the Right Reverend Paul Ferguson, officially opened the Goathland Centenary Walk along with the relatives and wider community of the 12 local men it has been established to remember.
The two-mile circular walk has been founded as the result of a community project made possible thanks to a grant of £9,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund and support from North York Moors National Park Trust.
The 12 men of Goathland served in some of the most notorious theatres of war between 1914 and 1918, including the Somme.
In addition to the new trees, 12 commemorative sculptures will be installed in the grounds of the Community Hub.
